Well, Mr.. Peck has denied at last.
He writes long letter stating that he
didn't appropriate the money to his
own use in the railroad matter, and
that he didn't steal. and that Citizen
has lied. Let US see. We never said
he appropriated the money and town
lots to his own use. nor that he stole
anything; but we did charge him with
being little wreckleSS in his business
and so far he has not denied the fact
that they used the peoples money about
as 1 stated. He tries to justify him.
self on the ground that the people ac
cepted the report; but that does not
change the matter in the least. He did
1t without knowing or seemingly car
ing whether the people were satisfied
or not: and had there not been some
dissatisfaction manifested, we doubt
very much whether ne ever would have
made the report or not. If that is
true how would IL do to publish it. 1t
might at least show the voters that we
were wrong. The plan adopted by Mr..
Peck and his trainers is to try to hide
his faults by raising the cry that w. C.
Afford has been guilty of various
crimes as public officer. Suppose he
has; suppose he had been guilty of ten
times what they say he has, would that
help Peck any2 Would he be any bet
ter qualified for treasurer by reason of
Affords faults? The truth of the mat
ter is that Mr.. Peck knows too well
that Citizen is talking of things that do
not add to Peck's character, and all he
can do is To try to get attention drawn
from himself. In all his long letter he
don't even mention the Cropper and
Chandler cases, or the case Of Perkins.

shamefully beaten because he openly

just what we are after, and as he don't
seem likely 20 publish thu records. we
have been relieving him of that task
for the last few weeks, and if we have
omitted any portion that was of impor

have free access TO the records. We
notice that Judge Howe has written a
letter eXcusing Rigg in the Cropper
whiskey case, and from what Howe
says in the latter part OF his letter. |
take it that the Judge is just little off
in regard to having Cropper in court.
l think the case was disposed of while
Chopper was ont at Garden City wait
ing to hear how the case went. Fhe
fact is that Cropper didn't even answer
TO MS name in the lstriet court IN that
case; but probably jadge Howe was so
busy prosecuting violations of the lia-
uog law at that time that he don't re-
member just what was done with Crop
per. You see the Judge always was a
terror to evIl-doers, CITIZEN.

A Great Question.

EDITORS INDEX: There Is a great
deal of excitement among the temper
Rnce people throughout the country,
owing to an apprehension that the su-
preme court OF the United States will
declare the prohibitory laws unconsti-
tutional. Seven cases are pending be-
fore the court two from Kansas. four
from Iowa, and one from Atlanta,
Georgia. The Kansas cases have al
ready been argued for the brewers, by
Senator Vest, Of Missouri, and Joseph
II. Choate, OF New York. To the as
constituent and indignation of the pro-
hibitiOnists, no one appeared on their
side of the question, and they are now
in great state IT excitement, for fear
the court will decide, as il naturally
viii do. upon the cases as presented, "a
pdrte. The blame rests with Attorney
General Bradford, Of Kansas. who had
charge of the cases, and failed to put in
an appearance. FREEMAN.

spoke AS follows in relation 10 ticket
rates:
"Tbere may be a few changes to

a similar change in our rate schedule.
We will issue new rate sheet, how
ever, on the 4th proy., but beyond
such changes as may occur between

similar to thai in use AT present Elk.
cursiun rates will continue he same
as at present, namely $50 tor the

and 800 from Missouri river points,
